In the present work, sensing of ethanol on the ZnO thin films doped with Fe (5-50%) have been investigated. Nature of the sensing species in the nanosize Fe-doped ZnO (FeZnO) thin films has also been studied by in situ extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. By XRD, it is found that ZnO and ZnFe2O4 are the main compounds in the ZnO-Fe thin films. The thin film containing 5% of Fe has a high sensitivity (Rair/Rethanol>80) when sensing of ethanol at 300 K. On the contrary, the thin films with Fe fractions of 20-50% have a very low sensitivity to ethanol (Rair/Rethanol<15). In the presence of ethanol, the EXAFS spectra show that the bond distances of Zn-O and Fe-O in the thin films are 1.90 and 1.98 Å, respectively and restored to 1.91 and 1.97 Å in the absence of ethanol.

Herein, we report the synthesis, characterization and picric acid chemical sensing application of samarium (Sm) doped ZnO nanorods. The Sm-doped ZnO nanorods were synthesized by facile hydrothermal process and characterized using various analytical methods which confirmed the large-scale synthesis and wurtzite hexagonal crystal structure for the synthesized nanorods. The doping of Sm ions in the lattices of the synthesized nanorods was evaluated by the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The synthesized Sm-doped ZnO nanorods were used as potential scaffold to fabricate high sensitive and reproducible picric acid chemical sensor based on I–V technique. The fabricated picric acid chemical sensor based on Sm-doped ZnO nanorods exhibited a high sensitivity of 213.9 mA mM−1 cm−2 with the limit of detection of ∼0.228 mM and correlation coefficient of R═0.9889. The obtained results revealed that the facile grown Sm-doped ZnO nanorods can efficiently be used to fabricate high sensitive and reproducible chemical sensors.

The electrical properties of nanostructured Aluminum (Al) doped Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin films based ultraviolet (UV) sensor prepared by sol-gel spin-coating method have been investigated. Uniform nanoparticles Al doped ZnO have been deposited with high absorption coefficient at UV region and low absorption coefficient properties in visible and near-infrared (NIR) region. I-V spectra show high sensitivity characteristic of UV sensor with fast response after UV light exposure.

Self-powered humidity sensor with high sensitivity and repeatability has been fabricated from Co-doped ZnO NW arrays. Such a high performance can be attributed to the piezo-surface coupling effect and more active sites introduced by the Co dopants.

Undoped and aluminum doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films were deposited on glass substrates by successive ion layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) technique from ammonium zincate complex. The thin films are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for their structural and morphological studies. Both undoped andAl-doped film show strong preferred c-axis orientation. The texture coefficient (TC) of the film along (002) direction increases due to Al incorporation. SEM micrograph shows round shaped particles for pure ZnO. However AZO films show particles with off spherical shape and compact interconnected grains. Sensitivity of the film in presence of 80% LEL (lower explosive limit) of LPG increases with temperature and is maximum at 325°C. Significantly high sensitivity of 87% with reasonably fast response was observed for 1%Al-doped ZnO (AZO) film in presence of 1.6 vol% LPG at 325°C.
